Research on active balancing characteristics for axial thrust of a turbopump
Seong M Jeon
Abstract:A 10-ton class closed-cycle engine using liquid oxygen and kerosene is being developed as the upper stage engine for the next KSLV (Korea Space Launch Vehicle) model. This engine employs staged combustion to enhance the thrust and specific impulse. In that the turbopump pressure in a staged combustion closed-cycle engine is greatly increased, an active thrust balancing system is required to control the axial force of the turbopump. Two types of active thrust balancing systems with one axial control gap and two… Show more
